What's wrong with the official Lotus forum site. I haven't been able to get to it all day

 

[ex-M3]

Sorry, no luck - they are not updating it . I got in just fine.

 

[ivan1]

just checked - seems to be working for me - maybe a problem with your browser???

It is working now; but there was a time when I could not get in for days at a time, while working fine for others. If I have to guess, I will say that the DNS server of the official site is problematic.

The forums don't seem to work

Try this

http://66.139.73.25/lcuforum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=2

This will bypass the domain name.

Doesn't work for me either.

 

[Derek]

yeah must be the DNS.

I had the same problem this afternoon, but can get in now.

If you can't access the IP address, it's not a DNS issue.

 

[Win]

I can't access the site from work either.

They are horrible look at what it says when you try to go to the online store

Is it that hard to update the message?

The Lotus Cars USA website is outsourced. It has many issues. For instance, the fact that the IP address is used subsequent to the splash page instead of the domain. Growing pains, my friend. It's a minor frustration to deal with considering what they're coming from.

Look at some other small manufacturers' sites:

http://www.panozauto.com
http://www.moslerauto.com (check the forums!)
http://www.koenigsegg.se (performance tests page)
http://www.arielmotor.co.uk

They seem to have an incorrect link on their home page. It appears they may be creating a new forum site or changing their DNS...and either made a mistake or are still in the process of making the changes.

To get to their forum site, use this URL:
